As a single mom raising two girls, it’s probably a pretty obvious statement that I’m a busy lady. However, despite how busy we are, I think it’s so important to help educate my daughters about making healthy food choices and establishing good habits. We try to find a way to stay physically active in some way every day, even if it’s just taking the dogs on a walk around the block. Another thing that is definitely in the back of my mind from when I was a kid is my grandfather, who raised me. He was insulin-resistant and it was always important that he watched what he ate – because of that I think I have always had an awareness of the importance of eating well, especially as it relates to blood sugar. At the same time, I want my kids (and me!) to have a varied and exciting diet that they love – in my opinion healthy eating should be fun and delicious!

In the summertime, if your family is anything like mine, the grill is king. It can be easy to revert to throwing hamburgers or hotdogs on the grill, but don’t be intimidated by the challenge of cooking healthy on the grill! Check out this amazing meal that we made featuring Grilled Clams with Garlic (Butter) and Lime with a side of grilled asparagus from Diabetes.org (http://www.diabetes.org/mfa-recipes/recipes/2017-06-grilled-clams-with-garlic-and-lime.html)!

It’s so much fun to cook with fresh seafood – and SO tasty! A few notes on the recipe (which you can get below) from my prep…the tinfoil here is a MUST. It keeps all the juices from running down into the grill.

This is such an easy and fast recipe! You just have to be patient while your clams open up and your asparagus gets a nice char to it!

This meal is really a show stopper and is so healthy – and low calorie! The garlic-lime-chili pepper combo is the perfect marriage that compliments but doesn’t overwhelm the fresh clams – this is a KEEPER recipe!

In addition to eating well, another step that I have started taking in my quest to live a healthier, more active lifestyle is incorporating the Nature Made® Daily Diabetes Health Pack into my daily routine.

I have to share this with my mom! I bought her clams a while back because she loves them, and she was looking for something different to do with them. She ended up just doing butter and garlic, but this sounds even better!
